  1. The MIC/MBC values of test extracts are significantly different (P < 0.05) from the positive control (ciprofloxacin)
  2. aindicates the five different E. coli test strains used for the study
  3. bindicates the positive control (antibiotic) used for the study
  4. - = No MIC/MBC values were recorded at the concentration of 10 mg/mL
